Very lightweight for a high wheel mower

I had the same problem dsohio had. Brought mower home, set it up, mowed for about 15-20 minutes. Stopped to remove some fallen branches and tried to restart the mower. No luck. Walked around to the front and noticed gas streaming from the carburetor. It kept dripping until the tank was empty. Took it back and got another (same model). This time, the results were better.
My previous Craftsman mower lasted 10 years. This mower is surprisingly light; it's almost like pushing a toy. My old Craftsman was MUCH heavier by comparison. Given the number of slopes and tree roots I mow around, that should be an advantage. It's also quieter than my old mower. Height adjustment is quick and easy and a tank of gas lasts longer. Easy to start and does a good job cutting. Except for the apparent quality control problem in manufacturing/assembly, this seems to be a reasonably good buy. Now I'll see if THIS one lasts 10 years.

Craftsman High Wheel Side Discharge Push Mower

I chose this mower for fuel economy. Very tempted by Husqvarna 6021P, but the reviews were all over the board. So I went to the local Sears and picked this one. Just finished my first mowing. One hour, or two miles. Still had gas left. This would take 2 tanks of gas in my old B&S push mower. For $200 class, I rate as 5 stars. Update-5/3/12: Just finished my second mowing. When I went to refill the tank, gas began dripping out the bottom of the carburetor and ran all over the deck. It would not start. It did this two times (it finally started after 40 minutes of rest) I will exchange it for another of the same model and hope I just had bad luck.

Bought this mower for my husband as a gift. His previous mower was a 22" but could not get that size so had to get this size. He likes it and it gets the job done. He wanted a mulching mower, not a bag mower. The larger back wheels make pushing the mower much easier. Adjusting the height is easy. He has no complaints about this mower. I highly recommend this product.

My yard is flat but bumpy so I needed a high wheel mulcher but didn't need something that is self-propelled. This mower fits the bill perfectly with enough h.p. to do a great job of mowing. The description said some assembly is required but I was very pleasantly surprised to find out just how little was needed...the only "assembly" was to slide out the handle, hand screw it into place, adjust the handle to the angle & height I wanted, attach the pull cord to the handle and pour in the oil that came with the mower. Took less than 5 minutes. Runs like a top.

If you like to maintenance your lawn equipment DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!! After not being able to find the drain plug I had to resort to looking in the manual. The owners manual states that the oil must be dumped out of the fill tube. If you never plan on changing the oil then go ahead and buy this mower, it does cut nice.

Have used the mower for two weeks and think it is great. Very little to do to get it ready to mow just take it out of the box, unfold and tighten the handle then position the pull starter rope. Out in fuel and oil and you are ready to go. Took ten minutes. Engine is the little Briggs & Stratton overhead valve 140cc and has as much power as the 6.25 hp I replaced.
